Huawei's probably just playing the same game we did over at Foxconn: large numbers of applications done to order to show potential investors what an innovative company they are. Hell, half of their patenting team is head-hunted from Foxconn - their campuses in Longhua, Shenzhen are right next to each other. People really need to get this through their heads - quantity is not the same as quality. Look at how much money they make from licensing and the ratio of patents to utility models and you'll get a much more realistic view of how much innovation is going on in a company.
